“…The mean quality score of internal validity was 4.5/7 ( SD = 1). All but five studies (Beck et al., ; Blackbourn & Blackbourn, ; Chovan & Morrison, ; Jones, ; O'Such, Havertape, & Pierce, ) satisfied more than half of the external validity criteria. More precisely, in the reviewed studies, the most frequently satisfied criteria were adequate information regarding age/grade (20/21, 95%), sex (15/21, 71%), level of intellectual disability (13/21, 62%), recruitment setting (17/21, 81%) and school placement (20/21, 95%).…”

Background Research on the self‐concept of youth with intellectual disabilities has not been summarized in more than four decades. The present systematic review addresses this gap. Method A systematic literature search was performed in nine databases and 21 studies, published between 1979 and 2017, met our inclusion criteria. Results Significant differences between the self‐concepts of youth with intellectual disabilities and typically developing (TD) youth were found in: (a) cognitive‐academic self‐concept in disfavour of youth with intellectual disabilities; (b) global self‐concept and cognitive‐academic self‐concept in disfavour of children with intellectual disabilities; and (c) global, behavioural, and cognitive‐academic self‐concept in disfavour of youth with intellectual disabilities schooled in a special class. Additionally, except for age, intellectual functioning and school placement, no significant relations were found between the self‐concept dimensions and academic achievement and sex. Conclusion Studies on self‐concept research with school‐aged youth with intellectual disabilities have several weaknesses that need to be advanced in future research.

“…The mean quality score of statistical validity was 0.95/2 ( SD = 0.2). More precisely, all the reviewed studies, except Blackbourn and Blackbourn (), satisfied the criterion related to the use of appropriate statistical tests. However, none had determined their sample size by a power statistical test.…”

“…As noted above, we excluded samples measuring only academic self-esteem. We also excluded six general self-esteem datapoints included in Gray-Little and Hafdahl: one because it included inmates (Harris & Stokes, 1978), two because the samples were mentally retarded or “low-performing” individuals (Blackbourn & Blackbourn, 1987; Pratt, 1992), one because a projective measure of self-concept was used (Kearney, 1973), one because the study compared Whites with all other minority groups and not specifically to Blacks (Keith Pottebaum, & Eberhart, 1986), and one because the data were identical to another study in the analysis (Moses, Zirkel, & Greene, 1973, identical to Zirkel & Moses, 1971). Analyses including these datapoints did not alter the overall effect size or the results for the moderator variables; thus, the tables reflect the data without these studies.…”

These meta-analyses examine race differences in self-esteem among 712 datapoints. Blacks scored higher than Whites on self-esteem measures (d = 0.19), but Whites scored higher than other racial minority groups, including Hispanics (d = -0.09), Asians (d = -0.30), and American Indians (d = -0.21). Most of these differences were smallest in childhood and grew larger with age. Blacks' self-esteem increased over time relative to Whites', with the Black advantage not appearing until the 1980s. Black and Hispanic samples scored higher on measures without an academic self-esteem subscale. Relative to Whites, minority males had lower self-esteem than did minority females, and Black and Hispanic self-esteem was higher in groups with high socioeconomic status. The results are most consistent with a cultural interpretation of racial differences in self-esteem.

Research on racial comparisons of self-esteem was examined. Early research in this area, exemplified by the doll studies of racial preference, was viewed as demonstrating that Blacks have less self-regard than Whites. However, a meta-analytic synthesis of 261 comparisons, based largely on self-esteem scales and involving more than half a million respondents, revealed higher scores for Black than for White children, adolescents, and young adults. This analysis further revealed that the direction and magnitude of racial differences are influenced by such demographic characteristics as participant age and socioeconomic status, as well as by characteristics of the measuring instruments. Many findings--for example, that the self-esteem advantage for Black respondents increases with age and is related to the sex composition of the sample--underscore the need for long-term longitudinal studies of self-esteem development in male and female members of both racial groups.
